Sunday at war again for US troops in Afghanistan. Pray for them this day, and for a safe and sound return home, ASAP, and that they can pack up the equipment and get out of there long before Dec. 31, 2014.

Another weekend at war, and Afghanistan is still such an unsafe place, as seen in the link at #1 Americans are still being shot. May God keep this female Ohio National Guard member who was working in Afghanistan a contractor in his hands, as she struggles on life support after being shot.

It’s another Valentine’s day at war for American troops in Afghanistan. God bless them, and may they return home in victory long before the 31 December 2014 to have it all packed up. Pray for American troops that they can have the strength and fortitude to pack up and get the packing done earlier than scheduled so they can come home to the USA and bring our money with them.

The Afghanistan war drags on. Pray for American troops.
An American soldier was awarded the Medal of Honor today by President Obama. The generals who put this outpost in an unwinnable position, should face demotion by the President. They need held accountable.

Slowly the days tick down until the US leaves Afghanistan. The date set now to leave, is 31 Dec. 2014. Let’s hope and pray the packing up gets done quicker and the US troops can leave well before then. Links from around the GWOT, which includes places outside of Afghanistan, such as Benghazi. Link:

Another Sunday at war for US troops in Afghanistan, while in the USA Americans can peacefully attend the church of their choice. God bless our troops, and say a prayer for them today. Links from around the GWOT:
1.) Another year, another commander in Afghanistan. Although the last one was “cleared”, it still showed he wasn’t out leading from the front on patrols, but was sending apparently thousands of e mails to a women in Florida. But, he’s going to be promoted on probably, and a new commander is in place to oversee the withdrawal of US troops. I hope he can speed it up and get it done in just the next few months and NOT almost two years from now on 31 December 2014. Link:
